E-mail Mailing Lists

An e-mail mailing list (or alias) will allow you to send a message
to a number of recipients using only a single e-mail address. For
example,
if
you address a message to alias_name@stolaf.edu, it will
be received by every member of the mailing list. Some mailing lists
are automatically generated from administrative data; others are
created
and maintained
by individual users.
